You forgot Rule 1 of the fediverse: Kbin does not exist.
Bad bad bad bad bad bad.
I firmly believe that no instance should harbor a large portion of activity on the fediverse, as it makes it difficult for other instances to defederate from them (as users there would lose a massive portion of the content that they see) and easy for them to take users from other instances by just ceasing to federate (as users on other instances would have to go to the large instance to keep the level of activity their used to). And that’s in regards to microblogs like on Mastodon.
With communities, it’d be so much worse.
If Reddit federates, and Lemmy/Kbin instances don’t defederate en masse, almost every active community will be on reddit.com. No reason to post on [email protected] with its 5 posts a week when [email protected] has millions of subscribers and thousands upon thousands of active users. Nearly all activity will go to subreddits, the exceptions being from people who have blocked Reddit or on communities pertaining to non-Reddit platforms/instances (e.g., [email protected]). And if Reddit defederates after that, the threadiverse will be a ghost town. People are already (and justifiably) concerned that too many people and big communities are on lemmy.world. Just imagine Reddit coming in with all of its users.
If Reddit federates, it’s just gonna straight up be embrace and extinguish — no extend required.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do you plan to do this with Firefox?
Yes and it will be named Poopenfartenfox.
The names are an edit of the original xkcd comic, where the states are blank.
Many residents of Kentessee would love to change the name to Elevennessee, but that’s been found extremely exclusive by the former Kentucky residents who were lumped into the state upon its creation.
Oooo, you’re right. I originally had (north–south) Washington → Columbia → Oregon but then realized that Oregon’s shape was second and so lazily swapped the two names. Cool to know!
That’s the other part of Michigan, unless the Upper Peninsula decided to become Upper Dakota while I wasn’t looking.
It’s just a fancy name for “Dakota[citation needed]”.
Can’t believe they’re making an Elon Muskrat movie
Massive waste of space. Should’ve used a smaller font size.
No, Reddit, I think you also know why.
You better not get tired or we’re all gonna die
Tooltip:
Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole.
Lots of wasted space on the tail. Could’ve fit a ball pit or two back there.
What do you mean? They’re all completely real
Well, looks like I’ll just stick to using Invidious.
Hmm, fair point. I can see how increased ball velocity and decreased reaction speed could make an injury more likely. Nevertheless, I still have these doubts:
Unless there really is some big safety concern, still seems absurd to ban people on these metrics and tell people that you’re protecting the other players by doing it. With the evidence I’m aware of, it still seems minimal to me, and we’ve seen BS reasoning for banning trans women in other women’s competitions (e.g., chess). While I can’t say with confidence that there’s no decent argument in support of a ban, I still don’t think safety is part of it.
Again, we’re talking about throwing “essentially rocks” at speeds that are insanely fast no matter who’s doing the throwing. When you’re talking hard objects being thrown at such high speeds towards people in protective gear, the difference in danger (even if that danger is significant) is going to be minimal. If women “are far more likely to be exhausted” at the end of a match, they’re more susceptible to really bad injuries from any cricket ball moving at such a high speed. A trans woman throwing the ball isn’t going to pose much more risk, definitely not enough for safety to be a factor in banning trans women from women’s cricket.
I think there’s definitely a discussion to be had in regards to what’s fair and how we approach fairness and sports in a world that’s accepting of trans people. However, the moment you go out and pretend that there’s some safety risk posed by trans women in sports, you unjustifiably paint them as threats to cis women, and that’s completely unacceptable.
